Facebook has a feature where it has an LLM suggest comments users could make in response to a post. This feature is being rolled out selectively I think since sticking my head in there, I don't see it.The existence of this feature goes some way to explain the vast number of pithy, yet varied comments AI slop images manage to get. No one even needs to type "God Bless!🇺🇸🇺🇸" to those fake images of homeless vets on their birthday (why does this never trend?)Just click one of the response options.

@futurebird Would be a good plot for a dystopian novel when a fascist state manipulates the communication even between friends.

@futurebird What I always wonder about this: if you are paying FB for advertising, how are you going to be able to trust that your engagement and clicks are real and not just Meta gaming their own system with AI? Opportunities for fraud are huge.

@futurebird I've been wondering if FB will resurrect my old account, with AI standing in for what they think I’d post and comment. They could roll me out to different family and friends, a mix of real and generated. Would I even recognize “me”?

@futurebird I wonder if / how much they value such responses on the back end. If likes are considered less engagement then a comment for algorthmic ranking, where does this end up? It's the user engagment of a like, but does it rank better? Guess it doesn't really matter when it all becomes bots making content for bots.

@futurebird Interesting - I assumed everyone had this “feature”. I can confirm the questions/comments are very dumb. For example if it is a video of a cat playing with a ball of yarn, the prompts will be stuff like “Why do cats like yarn?” Or “What is yarn?”

@m3 “what is yarn?” once started an argument on a fiber arts forum I like that is still raging to this day- but I know facebook has nothing as interesting as that in mind—and yet! What *is* yarn??? 🧶

@futurebird @m3 yarn is clearly a string of rolled fiber that is not a thread. There, easy :D(The facebook thing is insane. Nothing else to add there)
